Lucene counts the number of matched docs. A particular document will count as 1 whether it is matched by 1 search term or many search terms.
I don't believe it is possible to count what you are asking for using standard calls. It might be possible with a custom collector that somehow had access to the values passed to the coord() method of the Similarity in use for a search. Sounds hairy, maybe impossible. -- Ian.
